When designing the layout of a LAN, the party can choose from a selection of different technologies on which to base the main part of their LAN. The technology choices that the party adopts will be a critical part in the way their LAN performs. Two important LAN setups are a network based on Ethernet or Token Ring technology. Besides operating in a small space, LANs have some other distinctive features. LANs are typically owned, controlled, and managed by a single person or organization.…
The IEEE 802.1standard concerns with the standards and recommendations in the of architecture and internetworking of local area networks (LANs) and metropolitan area networks (MANs), security, network management, and protocol issues above the Data Link Layer.…
I learned from this video that LAN (Local Area Network) is a computer network covering a small geographic area, like a home, office, school, or group of buildings. And also that WAN (Wide Area Network) is a computer network that covers a broad area (e.g., any network whose communications links cross metropolitan, regional, or national boundaries over a long distance). In addition, I learned what the difference between a work group and a domain. Domain names are used in various networking contexts and application-specific naming and addressing purposes. I also learned that in a work group all network computers are equal.…
Five doctor offices have decided to join each of their buildings to a network. With this, each office will have access to each of the other four offices’ information. This would greatly benefit them and their patients, allowing them to pull up a patient’s medical and billing information from a central server for easy access. However the central, east and west offices are each on their own LAN. The three LANs are similar in design for connecting each workstation and for hardware and software. The eastern and western offices have already been in a partnership with their own peer-to-peer with remote access network along with shared billing and insurance management software. The north and south locations are running standalone workstations that are various ages. Each office has no kind of network compatible hardware and runs the billing and insurance software on one dedicated computer, each with its own attached printer. Patient information is stored on several computers throughout the offices and patient records are filed manually on paper.…
A local network can mean a small network in a home, or a business network covering several buildings on a city block. LANs are relatively fast, compact, and when configured correctly, have few errors or problems. The hardware needed to build an LAN is set up on OSI levels 1 and 2 and include devices like switches, bridges, hubs, and repeaters.…
Local Area Networks (LANs) connect multiple computers that in a geographically limited area, this can be within the same room or building, to share information and resources. A LAN enables devices to communicate over a network with one another internally, otherwise known as an intranet. Each Kudler location would represent a LAN since each location has an internal network that is sharing local resources. The majority of LANs are connected using cables with copper or optics, but a network setup to communicate wirelessly is referred to as a wireless network.…
A Land Are Network (LAN) is a network that connects a group of computers that are within distance of each other to the same network. LAN’s are very useful when it comes to printer sharing and sending and receiving files between all the systems within the facility that share that one network. A LAN is connected by using Ethernet cables, adapters, and hubs. Its counterpart is the WAN or Wide Area Network a WAN is connected by two or more LAN’s and are used for public networking the largest is the internet. This is primarily used for larger networks because it can cover more area giving access to more users. A WLAN connection is the WAP or Wireless Access Point that is transmitted by radio waves over hundreds of feet connected by the internet hub. WLAN is composed of…
Local Area Networks, or LANs, are a gathering of PCs networked together in a by and large little geographic area. LAN innovation alludes to the equipment and programming used to make a local area network. The most widely recognized wired systems are Ethernet and Token Ring, and WLAN advances utilizing IEEE 802.11. WAN or Wide Area Network advancements incorporate ATM. TCP/IP, and Frame Relay to join and exchange information crosswise over expansive separations. Utilizing a link, for example, an Ethernet link PCs on a LAN are obliged to impart the network when passing information bundles forward and backward. Before sending information over the network every PC checks the line for different transmissions. On the off chance that the line is pass the PC sends the information, if not the PC holds up. This technique is called CSMA/CD. Remote LANs or WLANs use RF signs to transmit information over the network. Each PC on a remote local area network have the same recurrence and alternate sending information simply like utilizing a link. Remote LANs use CSMA/CA to check for an open line of correspondence to it expected target. The sending gadget will convey a sign to the getting gadget called a Request to Send. In the event that the getting gadget is accessible it will send an unmistakable to send flag back to the host and to every other gadget on the network. This alarms alternate gadgets that there is a transmission between gadget An and B and that they must hold up to send information over the network.…
A LAN or local area network is a group of computers all located in the same area that are usually connected via some means. (Wireless or wired).…
All three major sites use Ethernet cabled local area networks (LANs) to connect the users’ Windows Vista workstations via industry standard, managed switches.…
This computer connects to an individual’s PCs in the network. Some companies had limited IT budgets and used them as a substitute for a mainframe. The PCs linked to a central server known as a “LAN”.…
Networking is everywhere one of the main benefits is that we can share devices such as printers, scanners, CD-ROM drives and many more. Also, we can connect to networks as Meyers (2003, p3) said “one network can be connected to another network and become a more powerful tool because of the great resources”.…
To build and roll out a top level enterprise-wide telecommunications network for the ABC Company. As ABC’s Technical contractors meeting the ABC Company’s technical needs by meeting the requirements for each of their separate office locations in San Francisco, Detroit, Washington, Indianapolis, Tampa, Paris, Liverpool, Tokyo, and Sao Paulo. With local LANs that are in each office that connect to a WAN to share data files and multimedia. There are many different pieces of equipment needed when setting up and maintain a large business network. Each piece of equipment has many different choices in brands and even capabilities that set them apart from each other. Each piece of equipment can be detrimental to the flow and success of the network at hand. Now that we have discussed the importance of equipment on the network let us move on to discussing each piece of equipment needed to running a successful network.…
4. An enterprise network has many routers that connect to both a LAN as well as the WAN. Which one of the following statements best describes how routers typically use and think about their WAN connections?…
The local area network (LAN) Domain is a collection of computers connected to one another, or to a common medium. All LAN domains include data closets, physical elements of the LAN, as well as logical elements to be designated by authorized personnel. It needs strong security and access controls. Its can access company-wide systems, applications, and data from the LAN…
